Yes, Classic Shell (free) or Start8 (5 bucks). Both are good. There are

How do they work for the latest Windows 8 (Windows Blue?) since it brought
back the Start Button (just the button). Did they just dump that *USELESS*
button and use theirs, or keep that button and simply add the Start Menu?





Those utilities turn Win8 into something almost indistinguishable from Win7.

Why?

Win8 is more stable on my system (YMMV), I had to add a second monitor for
a particular software purpose so I got a "cheap" 23 inches touchscreen
monitor and I wouldn't go back.

BTW, I don't use that touch thing that much.

ClassicShell is good, but I wouldn't say it comes close to "something almost
indistinguishable from Win7". I rather wish that were the case.
